Artist Talk with Mark Smith
Monday, Sept. 23 from 4:00-5:00pm during Community Hour in the Learning Commons (Harrison Library First Floor)
Hosted by the Center for Writing and the Arts
Mark Smith is the artist of The Hope Suite. A series of forty-four collages that together take as their theme a message of hope. Each collage in the series expresses the word hope in a different language — some of which, like Braille, are non-linguistic — and consists of a background monoprint or a digital photoprint overlaid with mixed media.
Several prints of works in The Hope Suite are currently displayed in the Harrison Library.
Mark Smith is a visual artist, PhD art historian, and gallerist. A co-founder of Flatbed Press & co-author of Flatbed Press at 25, he lives and works in Johnson City, Texas.
